CupcakKeFest

CupcakKeFest is a song competition which has been organised by Temekylopia's Sickening Broadcasting Network since 2017 and is open to members of the MBU. The first edition, officially announced on 27 January 2017, was hosted in Pojkland, Temekylopia, and managed to rake together 8 debuting countries.

The competition has many similarities to the Maia Song Contest. Each participating country/broadcaster must send an act according to the rules of the contest (see below), which primarily focuses on that the song includes the rapper CupcakKe's vocals, which has been remixed over an existing musical background of a different song. The participating countries must then vote for their favourite entries, the winner being the song that has received the most points from the juries.

History
In late 2016, discussions were started between the TSBN and the MBU about the beginning of the contest. There were some mixed reactions but it finally ended with the TSBN being approved of holding CupcakKeFest. The first edition was announced on the 27th of January 2017, and managed to get 8 countries competing to win. There were no plans of holding a second edition, but after several meetings, increased interest in CupcakKeFest and seeing CupcakKe's success in Maia Song Contest 8, TSBN decided to host another edition of CupcakKeFest, making it the first spin-off contest to ever be brought back into a second edition.

Rules
The following rules were announced on the day of the contest's confirmation.


 * The contest will be very similar to Maia Song Contest 1, in which it will not have any semi-finals, but instead have one grand final. This means that there is a max limit of 25 competing countries.
 * To be able to participate in CupcakKeFest, you don't have to have competed in Maia Song Contest, however, you are not allowed to compete if you're banned from Maia Song Contest.
 * You may only submit remixes/mashups that contain CupcakKe's vocals, but the backing track can be of any song. Note that if the artist/group that made the original song is claimed, you have to ask that person who has claimed that artist/group if it's okay for you to use it in CupcakKeFest. The song doesn't have to be entirely themed around CupcakKe, but most of the song should contain her vocals. You can find a playlist with examples of allowed songs if you click here.
 * You may send songs that have been sent into Maia Song Contest, provided that they have CupcakKe's vocals in them. A good example of this is the Deepthroat remix of Sia - Cheap Thrills, which is a song that was sent by Respublika in Maia Song Contest 3.
 * You may not send songs or remixes that have competed in CupcakKeFest previously. You may, however, use the vocals from songs that have previously competed, but not a musical background that has competed previously.
 * Points will be given out in the same way that you do in Maia Song Contest, by giving out 1-8, 10 and 12 points to your top 10. This may be subject to change, depending on how many countries confirm participation in each edition.
